Minelab Equinox Classroom Forum

I was running in all metal beach 2 program with recovery at 5. I noticed once I ran the coil over a target that produced an audible tone that it seem to null out and I could not get it to repeat readily. Should I be running a higher recovery speed to get a quicker repeated response?

I personally would switch over to Beach 1 unless your coil is in the water since Beach 2 is not as sensitive as Beach 1 (subjective but appears to be true). I run recovery 4 and iron bias 2 in Beach 1 most of the time and then switch to Beach 2 default settings when in water. Sensitivity varies from 23 down to 19 in both modes.

Null outs happen every once in a blue moon as well as no TID targets (these are deep targets). You could also switch over to Park 2 on dry sand but I haven't seen much reason to do this.

Also ground balance or ground tracking may be needed. I use auto tracking most of the time...still not comfortable to keep GB at 0 (old skool FBS user :-)) but doesn't seem to have any worsening affects.
